      Among those eligible, 50% are women. If 2/5 of eligible men and 1/5 of eligible women voted, find the ratio of male to female voters who voted.

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total population be '100n'

      Eligible voters = 0.70 × 100n = '70n'

      Eligible female voters = 0.50 × 70n = '35n'

      Eligible male voters = 70n - 35n = '35n'

      Males who voted = (2/5) × 35n = '14n'

      Females who voted = (1/5) × 35n = '7n'

      Required ratio = 14n : 7n = 2 : 1
